Android/Windows: Sick of waiting for Netflix and Hulu on Android? PlayOn's new app takes web video from your (Windows) desktop and streams it to your phone or tablet. Given that Netflix may not make it to your specific phone, PlayOn could be quite appealing to some avid streaming fans.

Like its iOS app, and its Xbox and PS3 version, PlayOn is deceptively simple: a Windows app takes in video from the web, transcodes it to work for your device, and flings it your way.

PlayOn for Android offers a free 14-day trial, and then costs $40 per year (or $80 for a lifetime license) to use. Plex can stream straight to phones, too, and it's free. But given that Netflix may only arrive as a pre-loaded app on certain phones, and that other video services may never get their own apps, PlayOn seems like the best option for those looking to stream popular content straight to their phone.
